I'm glad you brought this back up, for other reasons. (Destiny)

I've thought about this a bit, and while I think FC3:BD isn't what we typically think of with DLC/Expansion/Bookend content, it is the kind of thing we should be encouraging developers to pursue. It was, more or less, a Developer Mod; a unique spin-off that was in its own rights extremely entertaining while being uniquely similar to the original content. How great would it be if Bungie did something similar with their new engine? A unique story with nothing tying it to Destiny.

Maybe that's not what DLC's typically are, but wouldn't it be better if that were something more developers pursued? Imagine if Bungie did a spin-off, 5 hour game set in the middle ages? Same engine, mostly cosmetic. Hell, most of it is already there! They already have a bundle of concept art for it!

That's the kind of additional content that would be worth spending money on, even if it isn't what we normally think of as DLC.
